Each application on your server answers requests on a separate port. When you browse to a website, port 80 is the default. You will need to configure your ROUTER/FIREWALL to forward all port 80 traffic to the internal IP address of the server.
For remote desktop connection, you have to forward port 3389 (by default). If you tell us what brand and model router you have, we may can help you.

BTW, if you are opening up services to the outside world, make SURE your system is patched, has secure passwords and is otherwise secure!!!
